I've owned two accurate .308 rifles. A CZ 550 Varmit with a laminated stock and heavy barrel and a 24 " DPMS. I spent a lot of time reloading for each and at 300 yds, the range limit I had to work with, both could shoot within 2 inches. There was hardly any difference between them. I've seen Hart barreled Remington that cold shoot better but this is my experience.
